Chelsea will be aiming to make it three straight wins in all competitions when they continue their Premier League campaign at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday afternoon.
The Blues recorded a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace in the league last weekend, while Wolves suffered a 2-0 loss at West Ham United, which cost Bruno Lage his job as head coach.
Chelsea vs Wolves preview
Chelsea are winless in their last four Premier League games against Wolves (D3 L1), with each of the last three meetings ending level.
Wolves are winless in their last nine away league games against Chelsea (D4 L5), since a 2-1 victory in March 1979. They’ve failed to score in six of these nine visits to Stamford Bridge.
Since Wolves’ return to the Premier League in 2018, Chelsea have dropped eight points from winning positions against them, more than they have against any other side in that time.
Chelsea have won their last two Premier League games by a 2-1 scoreline, having conceded first both times. It’s the seventh time the Blues have won having conceded first in consecutive Premier League matches, but they’ve never done so in three in a row before.
Wolves have won just one of their last 15 Premier League games (D5 L9), beating Southampton 1-0 last month. In fact, since the start of April, Wolves have earned fewer points than any Premier League side to have featured in both campaigns (11).
